Lipase Enzyme Screening for Synthesis
Enzymatic Activity Determination in PLU
Example 1
To determine the enzymatic activity in PLU (propyl laurate units), 1-propanol and lauric acid are mixed homogeneously in an equimolar ratio at 60° C. The reaction is started with addition of enzyme and the reaction is timed. Samples are taken from the reaction mixture at intervals, and the content of lauric acid converted is determined by means of titration with potassium hydroxide solution. Enzyme activity in PLU is found from the rate at which 1 g of the enzyme in question synthesizes 1 μmol of propyl laurate per minute at 60° C.; cf. also US20070087418, especially
The manufacturer Novozymes, for example, states 10000 PLU/g in its Novozym 435 product data sheet.

Example 7
Preparation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids-Enriched Triglycerides
A mixture containing different ratios of mono-, di- and tri-glycerides obtained as in Examples 2 or 3 (after distilling off the ethyl esters and free fatty acids fractions) was reacted with n-3 fatty acid concentrates of 80% in the form of free fatty acids or in the form of FAEEs using Novozym 435 (Novozymes, Denmark), or CALB immobilized on a suitable polymeric resin. The reaction was conducted at 60° C. under vacuum to remove the formed water or ethanol from the reaction system. After reaching conversion of more than 70% of the partial glycerides that were present in the initial glyceride fraction to triglycerides, the immobilized biocatalyst was filtered off. The product typically comprised more than 70% of the total glycerides of triglycerides containing n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids at levels of above 60% depending on the starting fatty acids composition.

Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil
Soybean oil was purchased from a local market. Waste cooking oil (WCO) was donated by local restaurants (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), and it was filtrated to remove solid particles. Table 1 shows the physicochemical properties of the oils. The analyses were performed according to ASTM D664, ASTM D4052, and ASTM D445 for acidy index, density, and viscosity, respectively. Methanol (99.8%), ethanol (99.5%), and hexane P.A. were purchased from Isofar Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Ltda (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Ethyl ether P.A., sodium hidroxide P.A., anhydrous sodium sulfate, and phenolphthalein were purchased from Vetec Química Fina Ltda (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Boron trifluoride complex was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
